Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has whipped up a storm after he sacked thousands of employees last week.
The controversial way the firings happened, many employees discovered they had been laid off when shut out of their emails, sparked anger, frustration and even lawsuits against Mr Musk.
In their place, Mr Musk has reportedly put together a small team of his own - of friends and confidantes - and entrusted them with the job of implementing his vision for Twitter.
They appear to include Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-origin software engineer and former Twitter executive who left the company last year.
Last week, Mr Krishnan, who now works at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz or a16z, tweeted that he was "helping out Mr Musk temporarily".
Since then, his name has been trending in India, where many are bitter about the unceremonious sacking of former CEO Parag Agrawal and other Indian-origin executives.
It is not immediately clear in what capacity Mr Krishnan will be joining Twitter - the BBC contacted him for comment, but he said he "can't help right now with anything Twitter-related".
It's also hard to say how close his association with Mr Musk is at this point, though reports have repeatedly described him as a part of his "inner circle".
